Actividades: Find a venue that offers raw, bare space of bricks and wrought iron, the ambience can be easily re-enacted. Zones are key to give this theme different setting and to create a complete ambience of a prison. Construct different areas within the event: cells, laundry rooms, pantry, canteen, etc.... You can also scatter rocks and boulders throughout the venue or cocktail area, to make it resemble a prison yard. Create cellblocks complete with prison bars where you can set up cocktails tables or dining tables (the guests will be thrilled to be seated in a different ambience!), a laundry room complete with hampers of black-and-white striped prisoner attire, and even laundry lines with sheets drying. You can even print the event theme, logo or company name on these sheets to add some corporate identity! Or, if you have a venue that has a few levels, use it to your advantage by creating them into different prison floors with a theme for each floor to draw people up to the other floors. Entertainment As guests arrive, they are greeted by prison guards, blue searchlights looking for "prison escapees", "tattoo" artists attend to your guests to give them a "prison mark", mug-shot cartoonists to paint all into the prison setting, and a Motown band to breathe music for all to enjoy. Work with your caterer to create a "prison buffet ", where your guests can collect their dinner on interesting food trays, served by waiters in prison uniforms and trading cigarettes with guests for more food on the tray! For the cloakroom, you can also simulate the typical exit from jail where prisoners "get back their belongings".
Consejos: Bring this theme to the max! From the invitation to the decoration to the entertainment provided, try Elvis' "Jailhouse Rock" for a open entertainment number.
